Covid lockdown rules allegedly broken by BBC presenter at centre of explicit photos probe

The BBC presenter at the centre of the explicit photos scandal reportedly broke lockdown rules to meet another young stranger it is claimed.

The unnamed presenter visited a 23-year-old he met on a dating app while lockdown was in effect, according to The Sun.

“The BBC were briefing the nation on the rules – when their star who was part of the institution was quite happy to break them.” 

The youth alleges that the presenter harassed them for about two months to meet up, even though England was following a strict three-tier system at the time.

The presenter eventually made a trip across London to their home in February 2021.

“He was always ­asking to meet and I found it quite pressurising. There were restrictions and they kept getting stricter but he constantly asked,” 

Shortly after the announcement of the third national lockdown, one message sent by the presenter to the youth read: “I’ve tried my best to be patient. I’m not used to being turned down like this. Sorry.”

In addition, the young person claimed the star had made three payments to them – two of £200 and one of £250 – which had left them feeling ‘owned’ and ‘used’.
